This week's Interns & Co-ops of NJIT student spotlight, Makayla Clarke, who interned at Whirlpool Corporation, shares “the most rewarding part of my internship experience can be summarized in one word: impact. Throughout my time in the internship program, I had the privilege of making a significant and tangible impact within the organization. This aspect of the internship was profoundly fulfilling and enriching on multiple levels. First and foremost, seeing the direct and measurable results of my work was incredibly rewarding. Whether it was a project that improved operational efficiency, a recommendation that led to cost savings, or a solution that enhanced customer satisfaction, I could witness the concrete outcomes of my efforts. This not only validated my skills and knowledge but also highlighted the practical relevance of the work I was doing.” #NJIT #NJITCDS
